Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

Make a fist and place it against a wall or the floor and apply some weight to it. Note where you feel the tension and if it is local or spreads toward the forearm and arm to compensate for the loss of stability. Do this with different angles on hard surfaces which give you true answers about your wholeness and work with movement and breathing to relax and find the solution.

After paying attension to the wrist and fingers pay attension to the joints and tendons of the foot and ankle. Place the toes on the floor and start to move them about. Note where you are confident and where the body tells you you are tense and afraid. Move without rushing and be patient. Now place your little toes on the floor as you relax the supporting leg and start to move them about as well. Do the same for the heel alone on the floor and check what freedom lies in the foot itself beyond that of the ankle and toes. Keep all the joints healthy and strong.
